Re: Reason for the price increase?

Someone mentioned in another thread to stop the presses on "Camp" magazine. I agree, it's a fucking waste of paper with very little useful information in it. Why not just give everyone a Vice mag on entry? At least it would be worth glancing thru

Re: Reason for the price increase?

False. By the time all the wristbands were mailed out, aftermarket tickets prices had pretty much come down to about face value. That means demand is approximately equal to supply.

Yes...for the month leading up to the fest. But no when there is hype around lineup time. Must consider timing as well. Demand has outpaced supply months in advance while housing is still available, groups are able to plan together, and there's always that option to sell your ticket later.

That's not true either. We're only talking about the prices set by GV (primary market). If demand is high enough, they can charge more, irrespective of whether its scalpers or concert goers. The secondary market prices are a different story. The frenzy that exists at the date of sale, the fear of selling out, etc. will all drive ticket prices higher.
